Attenuated Sex Steroid Receptor Expression in Fallopian Tube of Women with Ectopic Pregnancy

Context: Sex steroid hormone receptor (SHR) dynamics are well-documented in human endometrium but have not been comprehensively studied in Fallopian tube (FT). Objective: The aim of the study was to compare expression patterns and hormonal regulation of SHR in FT with that described in endometrium and to determine whether SHR expression is altered in FT of women with ectopic pregnancy (EP). Design: Tissue was analyzed and cultured. Patients or...
